Vertical blinds can help make a small home bigger

Homeowners may feel frustrated if their abode is modestly sized and can't seem to accommodate all of a household's needs. However, with a few quick fixes, it's possible to create the sensation of a much larger space, according to The Orange County Register.

First, one should consider the bedroom. Beds can take up a lot of space, but this doesn't have to be the case - the news source recommends day beds, which can be ideal for reading during the day and sleeping at night. For a specialized touch, one can even cut a tablecloth or blanket into a tailored cover for the bed.

Mirrors can also help give the illusion of spaciousness, because they can reflect light and add a new dimension to the room. This can be a great touch if one uses the glass to also show pictures of artwork on the opposite wall.

Those who have sliding glass doors or other passages may also want to consider vertical blinds, which can ensure additional privacy and also turn one open room into a closed one. This can be handy for those who want to create a private space in a small home.
